Chapter 30: Rational Thinking and Human Thinking IV

Why is "in two" the foundation of rational thinking, and "in three" the open source of human thinking?

Why is "merging in two" the starting point of feudal reasoning and teaching and the foundation of Confucianism's rational thinking? While "dividing into three" is the source of capitalist thought and the open source of Western philosophical thinking on human nature?

Because "he" is "closed", that is, the meaning of closing the door and closing the door, and closing the customs and guarding itself. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info "Points" is "open", opening the door, open the meaning of development.

Oriental people stress that cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms; pay attention to harmony and harmony, and harmony will make money. Westerners emphasize that division leads to clarity, while unity leads to chaos, and that responsibility is clear and responsibility is clear.

Therefore, "harmony" is the foundation of traditional Chinese cultural thought, the source of feudal scientific thinking and methods, and the theoretical basis of rational thinking. "Separation" is the foundation of Western civilization, the source of philosophy, the open-source idea of capitalism, and the theoretical basis of human thinking.

Few Chinese can successfully cooperate in partnership business, and even fewer can persevere to the end. Westerners, on the other hand, are very fond of partnerships, and can last for a long time, cooperate happily, and rarely have disputes. Why?

The reason is very simple, just because of "together" and "divided". Doing business pays attention to open-mindedness, open the door and let go of your hands and feet, you can usher in businessmen, and only then can someone trade with you. Combination is the beginning of closure, closing the door to do business, success in geometry, and division is the starting point of opening the mind, opening the door to welcome guests, naturally customers welcome the door, unlimited business opportunities. And the beginning of the union is still confused, while the division is the beginning of a clear and unambiguous one.

What is the essence of doing business in partnership? What we pay attention to in doing business and doing economy is that everything should be open and transparent, and the accounts should be clear and definite. If you use the idea of "cooperation" to do a partnership business, you will not be able to do business to the end without saying that you are doing business behind closed doors, but simply saying that you are one, and you will not be able to do business to the end if you are confused. Because you don't have a clear and definite current account, there is no clear scope of responsibility at the beginning of the investment, there is no distinction between entry and exit during operation, the accounts are incomplete, and you will naturally not be able to reach a consensus when the benefits are distributed.

As for why Westerners like to do business in partnership, Westerners have concluded from the seafaring trade that a person's financial resources are limited, and if the limited funds are cooperated, they can accumulate a lot to do big things. The more you invest, the heavier the responsibility, and the more you get the distribution of benefits; all of this should start with "points", there is a clear proportion of investment before cooperation, there is a clear list of transactions in cooperation, and there is a detailed definition of interests after cooperation. Can such a cooperative mechanism not succeed?

On the contrary, the Chinese are engaged in partnership business, and the main body of responsibility is not clear in advance, and they pay attention to harmony; the accounts are not clear during the matter, and they pay attention to harmony and wealth; and they do not understand the distribution of benefits after the fact, and they pay attention to face engineering. Can such a cooperation mechanism succeed? Let's think about whether the Chinese are doing this way.

Therefore, "cooperation" is the main culprit of guarding the feudal ideology, and "separation" is the originator of the idea of profit-seeking capitalism. This is the fundamental reason why "merging in two" and achieving a feudal dynasty, and "dividing in three" opens up a capitalist country.

From this you can understand that the development of the economy must be carried out with the idea of "divided into three", and you can only return to the turbulent era of the thirteenth century with the idea of "combining into two" to develop the economy, and cannot realize the dream of a strong and superior empire. The ideological basis of imperialism comes from the idea of "dividing into three", covering capitalism, expansionism, division of property, libertarianism, conservatism, objectivism, anarchism, xenophobia, populism, etc. Populist ideas, without these ideas it is impossible to achieve the capitalist system, without the capitalist system how to come to the dream of empire, imperialism must stand on the expansion of capital, otherwise it is not an imperialist country, only the Qin, Han, Tang and Qing dynasties in ancient China can be called the imperial era, but due to the deep-rooted closed thinking can not achieve the subsequent extension of capitalist thought.

Therefore, it is said that the ideological methods produced by human beings for the development of civilization are the golden keys for human beings to transform the world and create the times, and the ideological methods are the ideological source of the social system.

Due to the limitation of the living conditions in the Yellow River Basin, the Chinese civilization is mainly an agrarian society, and the ideological methods are naturally developed in a stable, closed, and self-sufficient type, and the ideological methods are developed in a conservative way, so it attaches importance to rational judgment, selects natural standards, takes material conditions as the survival value, has a single value orientation, focuses on agricultural development, and ensures self-sufficiency, but this living environment is greatly affected by natural changes, and environmental changes often affect the political ecology, and political stability will affect the development of people's livelihood and economy. Due to the great dependence of the agrarian society on nature and the great impact of natural disasters, it is very easy to deal a huge blow to the closed living structure, and the riots and uprisings caused by natural disasters and human factors again and again are the root cause of the change of dynastic rule. The reason for the repeated changes of dynasties in ancient China is that the geographical environment determines the changes in the substructure and superstructure.

However, in the countries where Western philosophy has developed, because people's originating ideas come from trade and belong to export-oriented thinking, the laws of nature cannot affect the people who hold philosophical ideas, and the philosophical principles originate from transforming nature and supplying the natural world, so the people who hold philosophical ideas are not afraid of natural disasters, nor are they people who bow to natural disasters, so you will see that all the anti-imperialist movements launched by Westerners are around the transformation of the existing political system. It is not an insurrectionary movement aimed at overthrowing the current regime. However, the farming people living in the big river basin are just the opposite, because the agricultural people in the big river basin are greatly affected by the natural ecology, every riot caused by natural disasters, the anti-emperor uprising is for the purpose of survival, either into the mountains and forests, or as bandits, or by Zhao'an, or by the new feudal forces, become a tool for changing the dynasty.

The internal contradictions of the people are also the inducement for external forces to covet, which is also ironclad proof that the ideological method influences the will of mankind.

According to Hegel, "People often call willfulness freedom, but willfulness is only irrational freedom, and neither the choice nor self-determination of human nature is motivated by the rationality of the will, but by accidental motives and the dependence of this motive on the external world of sensibility." "Existence is reasonable" (only inthestatedoesmanhavearationalexistence.), (everything that is reasonable exists, everything that exists is reasonable.) These two sentences are of far-reaching significance, and the ideological meaning here basically represents the ideological concept of Western people, which is the viewpoint that people can only have after they have been freed from low-level tastes and animal nature, and have sublimated their souls to the values of human civilization. Don't simply understand the meaning of these two sentences rationally, these two sentences tell us that freedom is not willfulness, freedom is not rational intuitive thinking, nor is it a direct accidental consequence of animal nature, nor is it a perceptual motive that goes with the flow, nor is it the impulse to gather resentment after a long time, but the objective motive determines the accidental feeling, the choice and abandonment of the perceptual intuitive world, and the objective reality has the true value and practical significance of its rational existence.

The first condition of freedom is self-discipline, not willfulness, which often comes at the cost of being in prison.

The reason why human beings can be human beings is that human beings have higher wisdom beyond other animal nature, and human beings are free from low-level tastes, and are free from the species that has a spiritual realm for the purpose of purely material pursuits, so human beings cannot pursue the shared structure of animal nature with rational intuitive thinking, in order to share the egalitarianism of material conditions. to achieve the original purpose of sharing. It is impractical to use the stimulated impulse to suppress the long-accumulated resentment, to gather animal impulses to impact the existing system, to use contingencies for the purpose of subversion, to perceptually impact the reality of existence, and to unrealistically realize the primitive rational world, all of which can be confirmed from the Green Forest Uprising, the Huangchao Uprising, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising。

The phrase "existence is reasonable" in Hegel's philosophy (only inthestatedoesmanhavearationalexistence.) highly concentrates the essence of Western philosophical thought and pushes philosophical principles to a whole new level.

Don't underestimate the meaning of this sentence, the impact of this sentence on Westerners can not be expressed in words, its value is far-reaching, Westerners rarely have subversive rebellion uprising movement comes from the Westerners' understanding of this sentence, this sentence will raise people's sensory thinking to the height of human thinking, let people feel the value of real existence, let people feel that the development of human existence has been separated from the primitive animal nature, get rid of the primitive nature of nature, abandon the primitive rationality of moral standards, let people really realize the value of human existence, let people feel the rationality and uncertainty of real existence, let people accept the existence of reality, and then generate the idea of transforming the existence of reality, to change reality. Instead of subverting reality, and smashing the existence of reality, completely overthrowing the existing world, to create a new world.

This is the gap between whether human beings are separated from the sublimation of reason to human nature, and the gap between the sublimation of animal nature and human nature, which is also the gap between going with nature and transforming nature.

The establishment of tribes and the emergence of the state come from ideology to be precise, that is to say, the state is not material, the state is a high concentration of people's ideas, and the people can only ensure their safe existence under the ideology of "state", can they have human dignity, and can they obtain human personality, freedom and value. In the same way, the state will also give the soul sustenance to every citizen under its rule, and the soul and spirit of each person are dependent on the will of the state, so as to gather a powerful force to promote the self-reliance and self-improvement of the national spirit, ensure the majesty of the country, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country from external aggression.

And the materialistic thought that "the emperor takes turns to sit and come to my house tomorrow" as rational people think. For perceptual reasons, reason primitively relied on material sharing to find great power to safeguard the material needs of the self, while spurning the national sustenance of the soul and spirit. In layman's terms, rational people do not agree that the soul and spirit can be attached to the tribal elders or the leaders of the state, and that the purpose of relying on the tribe or the state is only to obtain equal material needs. This is the reason why there is little xenophobia, populism, nationalism, and democratic ideology in a nation, and in a state where there is no spiritual sustenance, everyone is intent on relying on strong tribal power, or state power, to ensure their own rights and interests. However, democracy, nationalism, xenophobia, and populism are only inspired when the soul and spiritual sustenance are not guaranteed, and the emotions that are stimulated are all advocated around a belief, that is, the supremacy of interests, all of which are carried out under the condition that the soul and spirit are entrusted to the tribal elders or national leaders.

Therefore, in a society based on material conditions, the people only see material needs, but do not care about spiritual existence. This clarifies the difference between humans and animals, and what follows is the contempt for human existence, disrespect for the existence of life, and the consequences of annihilating the existence of human nature.

The emergence of human nature is the result of the existence of ideology based on the superiority of human beings over other animals, and the human soul and spirit can be cohesively pinned on a tribe or country, and then produce a united force that can be cohesive. The reason why human nature finally occupies the step of rationality lies in the fact that human beings are conscious, will, ideal, soul and spiritual people, and for a certain intention, people can gather spiritual power to advance towards a set goal, and abandon the sensory world of rational needs conditioned by matter, which is the reason why people are human beings.

In the same way, the tribe or state is the gathering place of the people's will, and the will of the tribe or the state is the security guarantee to ensure the survival and security of the people. In this sense, the tribe or state is still a symbol of will, not a material place.

Therefore, the survival of the people is the foundation of the development of the political process, and the tribes or countries that cannot guarantee the people's livelihood have no way out of development, the tribes or countries that cannot guarantee the spiritual and spiritual sustenance of the people do not have the ideas of nationality, democracy and people's livelihood, and the political ecology that cannot guarantee the nation, democracy and people's livelihood will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.

What is the purpose of mankind's development toward civilized society? Quite simply, it is to live, what is it for? People live not only for material needs, but also for soul and spiritual sustenance, all for the sake of "the safety of life, the well-being of life, and the dignity of death." This is just a simple demand for human life, and for this small appeal, human beings have struggled against natural disasters and political ecology for thousands of years. The struggle against natural disasters is to ensure material security, and the struggle against political ecology is to ensure the safety of the soul and spiritual sustenance, so as long as there is a tribe or state, it is necessary to recognize the existence of the human soul and spirit, otherwise, the mechanical material tribal or state mechanism will only go back and forth and repeat the mistakes.

The degree of civilization of a country is not to see how strong you are, but to see a country's attention to people's livelihood, what is people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, is the people's food, housing, transportation, and spiritual sustenance. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, what is the purpose of human beings in establishing a state? It is to ensure that the people within a country have soul and spiritual sustenance, and then to ensure the safety of every person's life, the well-being of life, and the dignity of death.

And what guarantees all this is the state, the law and the government within a country, that is to say, the country, the government and the law are the first responsible subjects to ensure the "safety of life, the well-being of life, and the dignity of death" of the people in a country. Eating means that the country should ensure the food security of the whole people, including food safety, drug safety, and medical safety. Housing security includes real estate security and residential security. Travel safely. The safety of living and out is very simple, that is, the government must ensure the safety of transportation. The joy of life is the spiritual sustenance. The meaning of safety here includes quality security, value security, supply security, as well as soul safety and spiritual sustenance.

In the final analysis, the state and the law ensure the safety of the people's soul and spiritual sustenance, so the government should ensure that the people "live safely, live well-being, and die with dignity".

And all this can only be achieved by a planned economic system. In layman's terms, the government is materialistic, does not need spiritual sustenance, and is managed by compulsory planning under the social system. To be precise, all affairs related to the people's livelihood must be managed by compulsory measures and under the planned economic system, and cannot be thrown off to the market economic system, so that the people's livelihood economy can swim in the market economy. If you place all matters related to people's livelihood and security in the sea of market economy, it will inevitably cause a serious fission of polarization and the shameless pursuit of profit-seekers by capital. For example, food, medicine, and other consequence of being returned to the market economy are that it is difficult for the people to obtain safe and inexpensive materials, so everything that involves the lifeblood of the country should be controlled by the government and must not be thrown into the market economy. Another example is oil, banks, etc.

Openness corresponds to rules, not freedom. Closure corresponds to morality, not rules.

Therefore, you will see that the more feudal people are, the more casual they become, untrustworthy, and unruly.

The repeated emergence of rebels in the feudal dynasty, the emphasis on moral norms, the admiration of the cult of personality, the inability to popularize culture, the low degree of civilization, the prominent problems of the people's livelihood, the irrational regulation and control, the idea that there is no interest to feed the people's livelihood, only the idea of privilege enjoyment, etc., are all disadvantages of feudalism.

However, among the people with a strong open capitalist mentality, they are more rule-abiding and trustworthy in their behavior, and there are few rebels, and the degree of civilization is also higher, the regulation and control of people's livelihood issues are reasonable, and the rights and interests feed back to people's livelihood strongly. So this tells us a truth, the more people who do things behind closed doors, the more presumptuous they are, there are no rules and systems, such as the Qing Dynasty government's external closure and self-defense, internal confusion, political decay and decline, male thieves and female prostitutes, prominent contradictions in people's livelihood, and poor livelihood. On the contrary, Western countries that have implemented open-door policies have a more democratic political ecology, stricter regulation and control of people's livelihood issues, and more scientific and reasonable food, housing and transportation of the people under strict rules and supervision.

In fact, the real human civilization is to one day realize the fundamental desire of human existence that the whole people share "the security of life, the well-being of life, and the dignity of death", and the economic system that can ensure that all this can be realized is the socialist planned economic system, that is, the dualistic structure system, because if you use the three-dimensional separation system to ensure the supply of the whole people, the selfish desire of human beings will inevitably be overflowing, and driven by interests, human beings can be so evil that they can harm others and themselves, and lose their conscience. The ugliness of capitalism will be fully displayed here, and the demonic nature of the three-point system will be fully displayed, and under the guidance of the three-point ideological method of the supremacy of interests, the expansion of human selfish desires will be boundless, and it is simply impossible for human beings to realize a social civilization in which everyone is equal, so as early as the nineteenth century, the German Kant pointed out that philosophical principles should not be inclined to objective idealism, but should be within a controllable range, strengthen the supervision and restraint mechanism, improve philosophical thinking, put the materialism in the philosophical principles to the forefront of social development, pre-set the material foundation, put the material conditions above the ideology, consolidate and improve the thinking method of rational thinking, and use it to calm the weakness of human nature, suppress the evil desires of human nature, balance the defects of human thinking methods, in fact, the real human thinking should be a naughty child who grows up under constraints, not an abandoned baby thrown into the sea.

What is the purpose of human society's march toward civilization? It is to build a society that is most suitable for human survival, and to establish and improve a civilized society and a civilized country with the most basic demand of human beings of "security in life, well-being in life, and dignity in death." If this seemingly simple wish is to be realized, it may be difficult to achieve the expectation by relying on philosophical open-mindedness alone, and without the restraint mechanism of rational thinking, excessive openness is like throwing people into the sea, and life and death are uncertain. Therefore, the road that human civilization will eventually take will be the road of merging human thinking and rational thinking, that is, the road of merging philosophy and science, but science must first make up for its own lack of theism, align itself with the materialist thinking method in philosophical principles, and re-understand the thinking method of science under the condition of fully recognizing the existence of the soul and spirit, improve and improve the ideological basis of rational thinking, and improve the "unity of heaven and man" to "the unity of man and nature", and put man before all things. Saving people's roots, knowing people's desires, conforming to heavenly principles, constitutional system, republican, and human nature. ”

However, the Chinese cling to the idea of "easy and heaven and earth, so the way of heaven and earth" and "the saint sets up a trigram, the observation system is rhetorical and auspicious, and rigidity and softness push each other to produce change", and the ideological principles produced are fermented in (easy), "easy" through "change", also called logical thinking, from here you can know that the Chinese have "changeable, flexible" psychological reasons for everything, and the metaphysical rules of the game since ancient times are difficult to last.

This shows that the Chinese people's ideological methods are still stuck between "starting one and merging two," and have not completely entered the stage of "dividing into three," and are in the stage of backward ideological development.

The fundamental reason for the rapid change of dynasties in ancient China was that the privileged class strongly maintained the feudal dualistic ideological method, which could not keep pace with the times and could not progressively advance the ideological method, resulting in more and more backward ideological methods, resulting in the confusion of ancient dynastic politics and law, and the political situation of the lack of a long-term mechanism could not be reformed.

Human ideological civilization needs to keep pace with the times and change, but it also needs a scientific long-term concept of development and an unchanged long-term concept of thinking. For example, there are almost no family businesses inherited from ancient times in China, which is related to the fact that China does not have long-term and unchanging articles of association and long-term and unchanging economic laws. If you change economic regulations and company articles of association twice in three days, a company like Jack Ma will not operate for long.

Economic laws and regulations and company rules should be formulated by adopting international general principles, and the idea of capital should be used to formulate, and economic development must use the idea of "dividing into three", and formulate a judicial system with clear sub-rules, clear responsibilities, and strong supervision, and cannot use political ecology to influence economic laws and regulations, let alone increase or decrease international general rules based on the likes and dislikes of legislators, and economic rules must be formulated for a long time and applied for a long time, so as to regulate illegal acts in economic development. Only in this way can we achieve a capital system that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The capital economy is different from the people's livelihood economy, the capital economy is a market economy, and the people's livelihood economy is a social economy; the market economy is a necessary system for the economic development of the whole people, which is attributed to the idea of three points; but the people's livelihood economy is an economy owned by the whole people, and it falls within the scope of the planned economic system.

Regardless of whether the idea of two or three ideas, it is not unique to a specific group of people, the ideological method is the ideological product unconsciously produced in the development of human civilization, and it is naturally owned by the people of the world, and the reason why human beings want to produce ideological methods is to enable human society to move forward with civilization and progress, so it is said that no matter what kind of thought and what kind of system, as long as it can ensure the forward development of human social civilization and progress, it is an excellent idea and system, and it is not possible to treat human thinking methods with resistance or hostile attitudes, artificially limit the application of thinking methods in personnel, and affect the natural progression of thinking methods。

The country is established by law, the power is constitutional, and the people are governed by regulations. This is the ideological method produced by human civilization in the later period of the three-point thought, and it is attributed to the ideological method of the long-term mechanism of "becoming four".

In the process of the progress and development of civilization, human society will inevitably produce the ideological line of eliminating the interests and privileges of the right stratum, in order to let everyone enjoy equal rights and obligations, realize the long-term effect of the legal system, reincarnate the system, and set the right sight and sight.

However, the Chinese have always believed that all the laws and principles between heaven and earth are facts that have been formed in the laws of nature. So you don't have to fight, there is no need to transform nature, there is no need to change yourself, you resign yourself to fate, listen to the leader's arrangement, and be a Shun Min who prospers, and perishes if the sky is good.

This is Chinese science, which teaches the people to abandon their souls, give up their self, and extinguish their desires, and the purpose of mechanizing human nature is to facilitate rule, in fact, traditional Chinese science is just a study designed to serve the ruling class. Therefore, China's science and technology and humanistic spirit have hardly developed since the thirteenth century, staying in a primitive and glorious state, immersed in the great achievements of the past.

The original intention of science is to use the laws of nature to regulate people's hearts, to use heaven and human affairs, and to use "heaven and earth are inferior, and the universe is determined." The heavenly principle of "the lowly and the lowly is the one who is in the position of the noble, and the lowly" to restrain the people of the lower classes, so as to ensure the safety of the ruling class's life, the well-being of its existence, and the dignity of its death.

In this chapter, I would like to say that a nation that clings to outdated ideas is a nation without a future, and the past has passed after all, that is, there is no need to regret it, and there is no need to insist on continuing to use it. We must resolutely discard outdated and inappropriate ideas.

Sooner or later, the ideological methods of civilization and progress will come, and this is the only way for mankind to think and methods, and it cannot be stopped. The ancient Chinese prevented the emergence and development of capitalist ideas in feudal China, which eventually led to the fact that ancient China became more and more corrupt, more and more closed and self-controlled, and its economic development seriously lagged behind that of Western powers, resulting in the lack of capitalist development stage in China's social development.

In the same way, the suppression of ideological methods will inevitably lead to the lack of stages of social development, and the consequence will be that social contradictions will accumulate and become more and more serious, and the disadvantages will be admired for a long time, which will inevitably cause the people to rise up and fight, and the result will be that blood will be exchanged for ideological renewal, social progress, and the change of dynasties. This is the root cause of the repeated changes of dynasties in Chinese history.
